A Link to the Past

Cukemen are the mysterious transfigured form of a Buzz Blob. Sprinkling Magic Powder on a buzzblob will make it turn into a Cukeman. The Cukeman will still hurt Link if he bump into it, so he must not let his guard down. Any range weapons, such as Hookshot or the Bow are quite effective to kill them. Unlike any other enemy in the game, Link can communicate with a Cukeman.[1] If Link speak with one, it will say random phrases such as:-

If a Cukeman is frozen with the Ice Rod or Ether Medallion, then smashed with the Magic Hammer, it will turn back into a Buzz Blob again instead of shattering.
